sorry it took me so long to download these
The women in our church every year have a Christmas lunch/tea and some volunteers decorate a table for 8 and play hostess for that table. About 80 or 90 women attended. One dear soul does all the cooking since she works in a restaurant and they permit her to use their big equipment so it is quite a relaxed affair for the rest of us! She did two kinds of soup, a fruit and nut salad, tea sandwiches, three kinds of scones. There were cookies but I believe they were purchased. A 14 yr old gal with a well developed voice sang while her dad played the guitar- we expect she might go professional some day she is that good.
I thought you might like to see some of the decorated tables. The first one used some African animals for napkin rings and just added red bows.
Some had real Christmas plates and all the finery. Quite a mixture and wish I'd taken more photos. Everyone enjoyed wandering around and getting ideas for next year. Mine was the one with the pile of rocks from our backyard and trees. My great aunt, born on Christmas Day 1900, hand painted the nativity people. I sprayed snow on the rocks, evergreens and trees, added some glitter.
